FLEXMap Server application for the Brazilian Industrial Fishing

FLEX/Map. Server application for the Brazilian Industrial Fishing Vessels Monitoring Program Felipe Luiz Pereira Carlos Henrique Bughi Rafael Medeiros Sperb Itajaí Valley University – Brazil

The Brazilian Industrial Fishing Vessels Monitoring Program • Began in 2005 after a 5 years pilot program; • Every vessel that measures more than 15 meters in length must be tracked; • RASTRO is the information system developed to support the program operation.

What is it? • RASTRO receives tracking data via Webservices (SOA); • It presents tracking data through Web. Mapping; • It provides several functions to support surveillance and decision making.

Architecture • RASTRO’s architecture is entirely based on FOSS. • OS Unix, Postgre. SQL/Post. GIS, Apache, PHP, Symfony, Ka-Map and Map. Server. . .

Problem • Memory (Stack-over-flow) and Tiling didn’t work well; • Bad performance; • The solution was to develop an interface on Adobe Flash®, with exchange of information through XML;

Concearns • It did perform well, but… • It was not FOSS; • Adobe Flash® is more oriented to Animation; • We believe we could improve performance using Adobe Flex® SDK Free.

B Plan

Conclusions • Ups ▫ Fast interface development; ▫ Allow: local data handling (client side); Easy development of user friendly interfaces; ▫ Adobe Flex ®SDK Free. • Downs ▫ Needs recent versions of Flash Player Plugin (client side); ▫ Not OGC compliant (will be in the new version).
